Remember Us?

Hey Senators, remember us? While you play your disgusting politics in Washington, more than another half million of us lost jobs last month--the same month these folks gathered in Washington. (Official U.S. gov figures say nearly 600,000.) We're watching you. We're waiting for you to listen to President Obama: "If we do not move swiftly to sign the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law, an economy that is in crisis will be faced with catastrophe. Millions more Americans will lose their jobs. Home will be lost. Families will go without health care. Our crippling dependence on foreign oil will continue. That is the price of inaction... The scale and scope of this plan is right... Let's put Americans to work doing the work that America needs done."
For more on what President Obama said Thursday, check out the video and more quotes at American Dash. For more about the plan and the future, see the post here below. And for the best photographs you're ever likely to see of the Inauguration, do yourselves a favor and check this out at Boston.com. And click on this photo to really see something.
